QR code in Dynamo

I’ve been doing some research into how to best implement QR-code generation in Dynamo. Has anyone on this forum had success with this?

I’ve had some minor success with an Aspose .NET component loaded directly into dynamo, but it’s a trial version and as such will not work over time.

I’ve looked into QR generation via web API, but to no avail. Also tried some Python stuff but I’m not competent enough for sure.
Any tips is highly appreciated!

Hi Jostein,

Could you provide a link to your QR generator library?

I found this one on GH:

After compiling it, I could not load it directly as nodes. However I can still access it just fine through the ironPyton interface. There’s some example code on the GH page that seems to work perfectly:

Hello Sylvester,

You’ll need to compile the source with a compiler of your choice. I suggest VS Community:

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx

If you don’t mind using the one I compiled, I’ll append it below. The source has support for the Unity engine but I’ve stripped that to reduce the size:

QRCoder

I have released a QR node in package manager for anyone interested, QRCodes 0.9.0.
Just a simple generator from strings without any additional options following the “Less is More”-mantra. Quality of QR-code is set to Q.
May be expanded with additonal functionality in the future.

@jostein_olsen Hi Jostein, I would like to learn more about QR code however the QR code package no longer available, if there’s any other alternative way to work this out? Greatly appreciate if you can share more

For Civil 3D there is a package called Arkance that have nodes for QR-Codes. They might be what you are looking for.
Regards,
Patrick

It is the Arkance Systems Node Library actually, and it is indeed for Civil 3D only.
